Red Bull – Art of Flight – New Teaser


[YouTubeUlar] <— 428,930 New teaser and local tour dates released for Red Bulls life changer of snowboard films – The Art of Flight due to be released this September.

Comparing this teaser to the first What Planet the Fuck are You From? rollout – I would have to say I enjoy the first teaser by 1000% yes. But kudos to Red Bull and Brain Farm for revealing more footage in this completely different yet still awe inspiring teaser. However the music completely sucks and it’s ad driven… pathetic.

Local dates:

September 27th – Ellie Caulkins Opera House – Denver
September 28th – Boulder Theater – Boulder
October 1st – Wheeler Opera House – Aspen

A Collaboration of Two of My Brands

Apple has chosen an Audi edit to showcase the new Final Cut Pro X which was just released today. It is always great to see my number 1 and number 2 brands working together.

Watch this revolutionary edit and look for this shot above (1:05)… and tell me you don’t want to go jump in an Audi R8 and do that.

Joy.

A Day in the Life of an Audi Driver


[YouTube] <— 3,146 Marketing through education... genius.

Audi is a dominant force at Le Mans, winning 9 times in the last 11 years and it’s an aspect of Audi that perfectly exemplifies the Audi ethos and approach to engineering and product development. In short, it’s Vorsprung durch Technik in action.

In 1923, the winning LeMans team completed 128 laps in 24 hours. Last year, an Audi R15 TDI plus completed a record setting 397 laps.

Coors Light – Tiger Woods


[YouTube] <— 3.025 Coors Light is advertising their new "master of cold" not so funny and [not genius] super cold ads on YouTube. Other then completely attempting to rip off the old spice guy I can clearly say I’m not a fan of this ad. Quit trying so hard to be funny and just make something simple. Maybe Ice Cube can save the day.

So instead of the Master of Cold… here is the masters of golf in a Tiger spec ad [genius].

New Balance – Ubaldo Jimenez – “Tell Me”

[YouTube Link] <— 5,566 I recently visited New Balance and had the ability to interview the man in charge of creating this ad campaign. This series slightly reminds me of the 1980s No Fear ads...

“Believe the hype! Triples are the new hot thing in skiing. Not wanting to be left out and to push himself to the max, P White went after it this past week and stomped a triple of his own. Check the full shot and TONS more in Level 1’s forthcoming flick, “After Dark,” dropping September 9th, 2011.”

Only one question coming from me. Where is the Volcano?
